Iran says no proposals from P 5+1 negotiators to Iran that require coordination

VIENNA, November 21. /TASS/. P 5 + 1 negotiators /five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany/ have not made any considerable proposals that would require coordination with Teheran, Foreign Minister Javad Zarif told reporters on Friday.

The past several days have seen intensive negotiations and the sides have held good discussions but P 5 + 1 didn’t make any really considerable proposals that should have been taken for coordination to Teheran, he said.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has decided to stay in Vienna to take part in the talks between Iran and the P5+1 group of international mediators, a source in the U.S. delegation told TASS on Friday.

The source said Kerry had changed his plans to opt for staying in Vienna instead of flying to Paris.

According to earlier reports, Kerry and France’s Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius were to go to Paris on Friday evening to have additional consultations on the Iranian talks.

But after multi-lateral consultations on Friday, coordinator Catherine Ashton, the former EU foreign policy chief, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif and Kerry had several meetings in the three-party format. The contacts are planned to be continued into the night.
